AI Superfortress health is off (again)
« on: August 28, 2014, 11:26:36 pm »
AI Superfortress health seems to have gotten messed up at some point. The AI Superfortress has less health than the AI Fortress Mk. III (1500000 AI superfort vs 1800000).

Tellingly, the AI Superfortress has the same HP as the human Superfortress, but the normal AI forts have greater HP than the human forts.

I don't think that's a mistake. The AI superfortress has near-planetary range, unlike the AI fortsI-III. At the typical x3 health of human fortresses, it would be (even more of) a nightmare.

Yea, the AI Superfort certainly should not have 3x the HP of the human equivalent like the AI/Human Fortress lines do; that would be silly given it doesn't get the same range nerf.  But can the AI superfort be at the very least equal in terms of HP to the Mk. III AI Fortress?

Doesn't the superfort have much higher armor, though?  Giving it too many hitpoints might make taking it out too much of a grind, given that it can take multiple runs as it is.
